Offbeat | Teacher who stopped shooting says he had to act

An Indiana congresswoman says a teacher who stopped a school shooting has been released from a hospital.

U.S. Rep Susan Brooks says she met over the weekend with Jason Seaman at the Noblesville, Indiana, school where the shooting occurred Friday. She says Seaman is a “hero teacher” who stopped the violence.

Seaman and a student were shot by another student at Noblesville West Middle School. Ella Whistler’s family says she’s in critical but stable condition.

Seaman is credited with knocking a gun away and tackling the shooter.

President Donald Trump is praising the suburban Indianapolis science teacher who stopped a shooting inside his classroom.

The Indiana teacher said yesterday his swift decisions were the “only acceptable action” to save his students.

Jason Seaman spoke publicly for the first time, three days after he tackled and disarmed a student with a gun at Noblesville West Middle School.
